Ocala, Florida, United States – March 02, 2025 – The $65,000 AdventHealth Grand Prix CSI 2* was the thrilling finale of Week IX at the 2025 Winter Spectacular Show Series at World Equestrian Center – Ocala. Thirty-four combinations representing 10 nations battled for the lion’s share of the prize money and one American rider stood out, Lucy Deslauriers (USA).

Course designer Gregory Bodo (FRA), assisted by Pieter Vitse (BEL), crafted the closing tracks for Sunday’s class. Eleven pairs managed to stay within the time allowed and produced clear rounds to advance to the jump-off.

Lucy Deslauriers (USA) was the first to deliver a clear jump-off round aboard Luja’s Starlet (Vigo D Arsouilles Stx x Clintissimo Z). The nine-year-old Selle Français mare raced around the track in 39.27 seconds to set the early time to beat. Their time was only improved by the eventual winners Philip McGuane (IRL) and Linguini de la Pomme, giving them an honorable second-place finish.
